The Best Martial Art - A Matter Of Intent

( Circumstantial Ad Hominem ) The argument is that because we've invested so much time in traditional martial arts study were forced to say they work, so we don't feel like we wasted our time. This is a mistake of logic, you can't say, Traditional Martial Artists claim self-defense works out of self-interest. A person's interests or incentives have no bearing on what is, or is not the truth.

Before Shane Carwin [http://www.armchairjocks.com/shane-carwin-tale-of-the-tape/] arrived. The following are five factors to consider as you watch UFC 116: Lesnar vs Carwin.

Northeast Karate offers classes in traditional Shorin-ryu Karate. These classes are offered to students of all ages from youth to adults. They are a part of the shorin-ryu organization. They offer Muay Thai Kickboxing. They also offer additional classes in physical fitness, ju-jitsu, and isreali street fighting. They are authorized to belt in Karate and Muay thai and will hopefully soon start belting in isreali street fighting. There are classes for the very young with Little Ninja and Little Dragon classes.

My school was based upon ideals of respect and courtesy. We expressed this in many ways, from how we addressed each other to how we bowed in and out of class.

Even today's 'new' martial arts such as in his article have specific forms that are practiced at regular frequency. The movements for a basic front choke are practiced regularly regardless of the martial artist's experience level. A black belt in Krav Maga must practice the same self-defense techniques as a yellow belt in order to maintain proficiency, speed and stamina.

Street fights are messy and always ugly. Unless you're defending yourself, you tend to look as bad as the guy who loses. Just look at some of the videos of real street fights on YouTube- people often go into the fight looking cocky and aggressive. These people also often get their asses whooped. When you are watching these videos, realize that THIS COULD BE YOU, humiliated and hurt in public. The only thing these videos should inspire in you is the realization that fighting of this kind is really kind of stupid.

Prior to their first scheduled fight, Carwin was also sick, but is on the record as saying he would "wheel himself to the cage if it was [his] choice". Carwin still has the fire, the determination, to be the best. I don't think Brock has it anymore. Ultimately, I think that will be key.
